When I think of this couple, two words come to mind… Outdoor Adventurers! These two take “active lifestyle” to a whole new level. Mountain biking, winter camping, hiking, you name it, they love it! Ever since I’ve known Mel, the outdoors is where she loves to be. When she told me that Jason proposed on a snowy mountain trip way up in the backcountry, I knew this was the continuation of a very, very good thing.

I’m excited that she’s found a great guy that loves all the activities she does plus he makes her laugh and treats her like gold. And… I don’t think I need to tell Jason what a fantastic girl he’ll have for a wife! I’m so happy for you guys!!

Thanks for bringing Chinook along… he made a few surprise appearances!!

How can I describe this wedding?

Between the amazing venues, the childhood friends, the personal, meaningful details, the supportive families and the uberexcited bride and groom this was a truly great day!! As I’ve been preparing these pictures, I’ve been struck by the incredible emotion and love captured.

Denise is my stepsister and I feel so privileged to be a part of her day. We are stepsisters because we both lost a parent to cancer and now her beautiful Mom is married to my Dad. As a tribute to her Dad, Denise had his ring incorporated into her bouquet. He would have been honored. At the reception we heard the most encouraging and loving speeches. How amazing to hear the friends and family of the couple speak so highly of them, to laugh with them but most of all to encourage them in their new marriage.

Look carefully…. there are some amazing moments.

Thanks Denise and Evan! We had a blast photographing your day.

Feel free to leave the couple a comment! Looking for more? Scroll Down… for Denise and Evan’s Preview post.

Melanie and Jason! Engaged!

Which to choose? This particular evening was one of those rare, magical fall evenings when everything comes together perfectly

…. colors, light, location and a couple that’s only a little bit hot!! Mel and I used to work together and she’s become a great friend.

We’ve been talking about doing this shoot since she and Jason got engaged last winter

and I’m thrilled that it finally worked out. So many great pics to come.. stay tuned!

Ahh… Edmonton! My hometown!! October is a time for cool weather, changing leaves, brisk winds and a spectacular wedding. I had the privilege of shooting my stepsister’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. They booked some amazing venues and this is just a quick sneak peek at what’s to come!

Apparently, Denise’s co-workers were dying to see pictures of her dress…. Here you go guys! The dress was unbelievable and she was beyond stunning.

Full Circle

loreleiphotography — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 05:24:09 +0000

Don’t you just love it when things come full circle?

In just a few weeks, I will be so excited to photograph the wedding of a family friend. Her parents have known my parents… forever! Before either of them got together, before either of US were even a thought! They stood up for each other at their weddings, they encouraged and prayed for each other through some very dark days. We prayed for them as they served overseas at a Bible School. So, even though I haven’t even seen my friend since we were young children, I feel like we are friends. History friends.

So my full circle will come when I can be a part of her special day and capture memories that will last forever.

Something tells me my Mom would be smiling.

Victoria baby + sunshine + field = Adorable!

I love surprises! When my Uncle said, “Hey Lorelei… wanna to take pictures of my friend’s baby?”,

who knew I’d get to meet such an adorable wee girl (and her gorgeous mama!)??

Take a peek at this sweetie!

See? Adorable!!! Dad… you’d better get your shotgun out on the porch!!

Patience….

My absence from blogging hasn’t been due to a lack of photos to share with you all!

My brother and his beautiful bride Nicole were married at the end of August on a gorgeous summer day.

I was able to enjoy the day…. NOT taking pictures…. except for the reception….

For those of you waiting anxiously for your pictures! They’re coming!!! Thanks for your patience!!

My baby…

Every Mother knows this feeling…. I can’t believe my baby is turning ONE!

Not sure where the year has gone but she’s been such a gift and a joy to us. AND she’s incredibly easy to photograph.

I pull out my camera and she smiles. Any bets on how long that’s going to last?

This may or may not have been taken just before naptime… I’ll let you decide!

If you like what you see on my blog why not give me a “like”?!

Jen and Kyle Got Married!
